WHAT IS THE GOAL OF LIFE'S JOURNEY?

What is the goal of this journey of life and what should we do to stay on course ?

Bhagavan lovingly reminds us today!

Our journey is from the individual to the Universal, from 'Swa' (mine) to 'So-ham' (oneness with God). 

The effulgent Sun can be seen only with its own light.

Similarly, only by the grace of the Divine can one obtain a vision of the Divine.

No skill, intellectual effort or scholarship is required to experience the Divine.

Just as clouds may obscure the Sun, the clouds of egoism, attachment and hatred prevent one from seeing the Divine.

Sadhana (spiritual discipline) is the royal road to reach the Divine. Those who have equal-mindedness see the good and bad qualities impartially.

When your heart is filled with good thoughts and feelings, all that comes out of the senses your speech, your vision, your action - will all be pure. 

Be blissful.

HELP YOURSELF , IMPROVE YOURSELF

What is the great opportunity we have today and what should we do to leverage it?

Bhagwan lovingly pulls us upward and onward today.

In the Treta age, Vanaras (monkeys) were made to act and talk like naras (humans).

In the Dwapara age, nara (human) was transformed into Narayana (God) by the grace of Narayana.

In the Kali age (the era we are in now), the declaration is made that the nara is Narayana Himself! The space in the pot and the space in the monastery are identical with the vast space in the sky; only the disguises of the pot and monastery keep up the illusion of separateness.

The senses are the villains; they instill the delusion that you are the body. Curb them as the bull is curbed by the nose ring, the horse by the bit in the mouth, and the elephant by the goad. 

First Self, then help. Improve yourself, teach yourself, reconstruct yourself.

Then proceed to solve the problems of others.

This reconstruction is quite easy, provided you inquire calmly into your own personality - “Am I the body or the senses or the mind or the intellect,” and so on.

The spiritual path is the path of detachment, of sense control, and of rigorous mind training.

Know this, Understand this Truth and get enlightened.

Be blissful.
